Python: Python 3.7 release

[Gr1N]

Hi!

Python 3.7 officially released https://pythoninsider.blogspot.com/2018/06/python-3.html, but there are no new image with 3.7. Do you have any plans (due dates)?

Thanks

Why alpine-based python 3.7 uses openssl instead of libressl as the rest of 3.x variants?

[tao12345666333]

@csandanov Because we used alpine:3.7, it's libressl version is 2.6.x. Python 3.7 's ssl module is mostly compatible with LibreSSL 2.7.2 and newer.

[csandanov]

Ah, I see. Btw, alpine 3.8 has been released and it has LibreSSL 2.7

[tao12345666333]

Yes. Alpine 3.8 released at 06/26 and it has LibreSSL 2.7.4. But docker-alpine has not support 3.8.? https://github.com/gliderlabs/docker-alpine/issues/417
